This is the first in a series of posts about security communities and groups, there are many more to come and I encourage you to let me know about others.
DC401 had their July meeting last night. On a nice summer evening almost 30 people turned out to hear a great presentation on SCADA security. Don't be fooled by the size of the state, there are a lot of very sharp security pros and hackers in Rhode Island.
About DC401:
DC401 is the local Defcon Group for Rhode Island. DC401 is a gathering for folks interested in the alternate applications of modern technology, referred to properly as 'hacking'. DC401 is not intended to compete with any other computer group, such as Providence Geeks, 2600 or Linux User Groups, but rather to provide yet another gathering place for the discussion of technology and security topics. DC401 meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their skill, age, job, gender, etc. DC401 is here to help you learn new things, meet new people, mentor others in areas you may be strong in, and provide some cohesion within the hacker culture and it's members.
